1.1
Comparison of Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA Arrays
FIGURE 1-1
Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA Array Front View The Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array is a next-generation Fibre Channel storage system designed to provide direct attached storage (DAS) to entry-level, mid-range, and enterprise servers, or to serve as the disk storage within a storage area network (SAN). This solution features powerful performance and reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features using modern FC technology. As a result, the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array is ideal for performance-sensitive applications and for environments with many entry-level, mid-range, and enterprise servers, such as:
1-2
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
The Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array is best suited for inexpensive secondary storage applications that are not mission-critical where higher-capacity drives are needed, and where lower performance and less than 7/24 availability is an option. These include near-line applications such as:
Information lifecycle management Content addressable storage Backup and restore Secondary SAN storage Near-line DAS storage Static reference data storage
It is possible, though not always desirable, to combine both Sun StorEdge 3510 FC expansion units and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion units connected to a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC RAID array. For instance, you might want to use two Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion units for near-line backup and archival storage while the Fibre Channel drives in your RAID array and other expansion units are used for real-time, mission-critical information processing and input/output (I/O) operations. For an example of such a configuration, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Best Practices Manual for your array.

distinct loops for connectivity. The individual loops provide logical unit number (LUN) failover without causing host bus adapter (HBA) path failover in the event of a controller failure. In a single RAID controller configuration, the lower I/O board has drive channels but does not have host channels. Overall, the same number of loops are available, but with only half as many host channel ports. All six fibre channels in a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays I/O controller module support 1-Gbit or 2-Gbit data transfer speeds.
1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2
1-4
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
Each Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA RAID controller has two ports designated as disk drive loops. The drive ports support only a 2-Gbit data transfer rate. These ports connect to the internal SATA disk drives using internal FC-SATA routing technology. These drive ports are also used to add expansion units to the configuration. Like the host channels, each drive channel of the top RAID controller shares a loop with the matching drive channel on the bottom RAID controller. For example, drive channel 2 of the top RAID controller shares the same loop as channel 2 of the bottom RAID controller.
1.1.2
Differences Between Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA Arrays
Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays use Fibre Channel (FC) disk drives and are supported by Sun Microsystems in primary online applications as well as secondary and nearline applications. Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays use serial ATA (SATA) disk drives and are supported by Sun in either near-line applications such as backup and restore, or in secondary applications such as static storage. Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays can be used in multipath and multi-host configurations. They are not designed to be used in primary online applications. Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion units can be connected to Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays, either alone or in combination with Sun StorEdge 3510 FC expansion units. Up to five expansion units can be used in this configuration. Before installing and configuring your array, please review the key differences between the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array and the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array in TABLE 1-1.
Note Although the two products are very similar in appearance and setup, the
configurations have very important differences. While the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array can be used for all applications, the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array cannot. Inappropriate use of the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array in applications for which the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array was designed might result in loss of data or loss of data access.

Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA Array Configurations
Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays can be used in the following configurations:
Single-controller configuration. A RAID array can be configured with a single controller in a non-redundant configuration. A RAID array with two controllers. A RAID array can be configured with two controllers to provide full redundancy. An expansion unit. An expansion unit consists of a chassis with disk drives and I/O expansion modules. The expansion unit does not include an I/O controller module. The expansion unit connects to and is managed by a RAID array A Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD) array. The JBOD array connects to, and is managed by, a host server. Only the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD is supported.
See Appendix B for detailed information about using Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays.

Connection options
1 1-GHz drives are not supported. 2 A disk array with no controller. Each expansion unit has two Fibre Channel loops that can provide redundant data paths back to the RAID array. 3 A disk array with no controller that is connected directly to a host computer, with no RAID array in the loop. Only Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays support the JBOD configuration. 4 The host-based Sun StorEdge Configuration Service provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and additional event-reporting capabilities.
A label on the bottom lip of an array chassis, underneath the front bezel, indicates whether the array is a JBOD array or a RAID array. For instance, 3510 AC JBOD refers to an alternating-current version of a 3510 JBOD array, 3510 DC JBOD refers to a direct-current version of a JBOD array, and 3510 AC RAID refers to an alternating-current version of a RAID array. Similarly, using a OBP command such as probe-scsi-all provides similar information, using an A designator for RAID arrays and a D designator for disks in a JBOD array. For example, StorEdge 3510F D1000 identifies a JBOD array with SES firmware version 1000 and StorEdge 3510F A1000 identifies a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC RAID array with firmware version 1000. For a list of supported racks and cabinets, refer to the release notes for the model of array that you are installing. You can find these release notes at on the websites identified in the section Accessing Sun Documentation on page xxii. Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) are supported by:
Redundant components Notification of failed components Components that are replaceable while the unit is online
1.2
Field-Replaceable Units
This section describes the field replaceable units (FRUs) contained in Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays.
1.2.1
Chapter 1
1-9
Each RAID I/O controller module incorporates SES direct-attached Fibre Channel capability to monitor and maintain enclosure environmental information. The SES controller chip monitors all internal +12 and +5 voltages, various temperature sensors located throughout the chassis, and each fan. The SES also controls the front and back panel LEDs and the audible alarm. Both the RAID chassis and the expansion chassis support dual SES failover capabilities for fully redundant event monitoring.
1.2.2
1.2.3
Disk Drives
Each disk drive is mounted in its own sled assembly. Each sled assembly has electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, an insertion and locking mechanism, and a compression spring for maximum shock and vibration protection. Each disk drive is slot independent, meaning that once a logical drive has been initialized, the system can be shut down and the drives can be removed and replaced in any order. In addition, disk drives are field upgradeable to larger drives without interruption of service to user applications. The drive firmware is also field upgradeable, but the firmware upgrade procedure requires interruption of service.
Caution You can mix disk drive capacity in the same chassis, but not spindle
speed (RPM). For instance, you can use 36-Gbyte and 73-Gbyte drives with no performance problems if both are 10K RPM drives. Violating this configuration guideline leads to poor performance. In the event of a single disk drive failure, with the exception of RAID 0, the system continues to service all I/O requests. Either mirrored data or parity data is used to rebuild data from the failed drive to a spare drive, assuming one is assigned. If a spare is not assigned, you must manually rebuild the array.
1-10
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
In the unlikely event that multiple drive failures occur within the same logical drive, data that has not been replicated or backed up might be lost. This is an inherent limitation of all RAID subsystems and could affect application programs. An air management sled FRU is available for use when you remove a disk drive and do not replace it. Insert an air management sled into the empty slot to maintain optimum airflow through the chassis.
1.2.3.1
1.2.3.2
1.2.4
Battery Module
The battery module is designed to provide power to system cache for 72 hours in the event of a power failure. When power is reapplied, the cache is purged to disk. The battery module is hot-swappable. The FRU can be removed and replaced while the RAID array is powered on and operational. The battery module is mounted on the I/O board with guide rails and a transition board. It also contains the EIA-232 and DB9 serial interface (COM) ports.
1.2.5
Chapter 1
1-11
Each array contains two redundant power and fan modules. Each module contains a 420-watt power supply and two radial 52-cubic-feet-per-minute (CFM) fans. Power module autoranging capabilities range from 90 volts alternating current (VAC) to 264 VAC for AC power supplies, and from 36 volts direct current (VDC) to 72 VDC for DC power supplies. A single power and fan module can sustain an array.
1.3
Interoperability
The array is designed for heterogeneous operation and supports multiple host operating systems. Refer to the release notes for your array to see the current list of supported hosts, operating systems, and application software. The array does not require any host-based software for configuration, management, and monitoring, which can be handled through the built-in firmware application. The console window can be accessed via the DB9 communications (COM) port using the Solaris tip command or equivalent means for other operating systems, or via the Ethernet port using the telnet command. Management and monitoring software is available and shipped with the array. See Section 1.6, Additional Software Tools on page 1-17 for more information.
1.4
1.4.1
FC Protocols
Two common protocols are used to connect Fibre Channel (FC) nodes together:
Point-to-point
1-12
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
The point-to-point protocol is straightforward, doing little more than establishing a permanent communication link between two ports.
Arbitrated loop The arbitrated loop protocol creates a simple network featuring distributed (arbitrated) management between two or more ports, using a circular (loop) data path. Arbitrated loops can support more nodes than point-to-point connections can.
The Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array support both point-to-point and arbitrated loop protocols. Select the protocol you prefer by setting the desired Fibre Channel Connection Option in the Configuration parameters of the firmware application (see Section 5.1, Summary of Array Configuration on page 5-1).
1.4.2
FC Topologies
The presence or lack of switches establishes the topology of an FC environment. In a direct attached storage (DAS) topology, servers connect directly to arrays without switches. In a storage area network (SAN) topology, servers and arrays connect to an FC network created and managed by switches. Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Best Practices Manual for your array to see information about optimal configurations for site requirements.
1.4.3
Fibre hubs An arbitrated loop hub is a wiring concentrator. Arbitrated means that all nodes communicating over this fibre loop share a 100-megabits-per-second (Mbps) segment. Whenever more devices are added to a single segment, the bandwidth available to each node is further reduced. A loop configuration allows different devices in the loop to be configured in a token ring style. With a fibre hub, a fibre loop can be rearranged in a star-like configuration because the hub itself contains port bypass circuitry that forms an internal loop inside. Bypass circuits can automatically reconfigure the loop once a device is removed or added without disrupting the physical connection to other devices.
Fabric switches
Chapter 1
1-13
A fabric switch functions as a routing engine, which actively directs data transfers from source to destination and arbitrates every connection. Bandwidth per node via a fabric switch remains constant when more nodes are added, and a node on a switch port uses a data path with speed up to 100 Mbps to send or receive data.
1.4.4
Data Availability
Data availability is one of the major requirements for todays mission-critical applications. Highest availability can be accomplished with the following functionality:
Hot-plug capabilities With proper hardware and software configuration in dual-controller mode, a failed controller can be replaced online while the existing controller is actively serving I/O.
Dual-loop configurations Dual loop provides path redundancy and greater throughput. Controller communications over Fibre Channel This option is selectable either through dedicated loops or all drive loops. It allows a more flexible configuration of redundant controllers.
1.4.5
Scalability
The Fibre Channel architecture brings scalability and easier upgrades to storage. Storage expansion can be as easy as cascading another expansion unit to a configured RAID array without powering down the running system, as long as the expansion unit has not been previously configured with logical drives or logical volumes. The maximum number of expansion units supported by a single Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array is:
Up to eight Sun StorEdge 3510 FC expansion units connected to a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array. Up to five Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion units connected to a Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array. Up to five Sun StorEdge 3510 FC expansion units and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion units, in any combination, can be connected to a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC RAID array.
1-14
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
Up to 125 devices can be configured in a single FC loop. By default, the array provides two drive loops and four host loops, and operates in Fibre ChannelArbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and fabric topologies.
1.5
Channels 0, 1, 4, and 5 are host channels connected to servers. Any Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array host channels can be reassigned as drive channels to connect to expansion units. Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array channels 4 and 5 can also be reassigned as drive channels. Channels 2 and 3 are dedicated drive channels that connect the internal 12-disk drives in the RAID chassis, and can also be used to add expansion units to the configuration. FC-AL is the default mode. Point-to-point is also available.
The Sun StorEdge 3510 FC expansion unit has a total of four FC-AL ports. The Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion unit has a total of eight FC-AL ports.

The Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array has a drive channel assigned to two ports on each I/O controller module. Each drive channel is a pair of ports on a single I/O controller module. In a dual-controller configuration, the top controller has two ports for drive channel 2, and the lower I/O controller module has two ports for drive channel 3. The Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array has a drive channel assigned to one port on each I/O controller module in a dual-controller configuration.

Channels 0 and 1 support 1-Gbit or 2-Gbit data transfer speeds. Channels 4 and 5 support 2-Gbit data transfer speeds only. If a fabric switch is connected to one port of channel 0 or channel 1, no connections can be made with the other three ports of that channel. If channel 0 (FC 0) is connected to a fabric switch, for example, the second port for channel 0 on that controller, and both ports on a redundant controller cannot be used. Similarly, if channel 1 (FC 1) is connected to a fabric switch, the second port on that controller and the two FC 1 ports on a redundant controller cannot be used. Two hosts can be directly connected to either channel 0 (ports FC 0) or channel 1 (ports FC 1), but in that configuration, host filters are required if you want to control host access to storage. Each host channel has an upper port and a lower port.

A direct RS-232 port connection guarantees that a host can communicate with a RAID array even if the arrays IP address changes or is unknown, or if the TCP/IP network suffers a temporary outage. See Section 4.9.2, Configuring the RS-232 Serial Port Connection on page 4-30 for more information. For pinout information, see Appendix D. When you connect via the serial port, you immediately access the controller firmware application, a management program embedded in the firmware.
Chapter 4
4-25
Your array ships with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) TCP/IP network support protocol enabled. If your network uses a DHCP server to automatically allocate IP addresses to attached devices, as soon as the RAID array is powered up, an IP address is assigned to it. You can use this IP address to monitor and manage the arrays firmware through telnet sessions. See Section 4.10, Setting Up Out-of-Band Management Over Ethernet on page 4-32 for information about setting up a telnet session. The outof-band management tools are:
The host-based Sun StorEdge Configuration Service software. The host-based Sun StorEdge Command-Line Interface (CLI). The firmware application you access when you use the telnet command to connect to the IP address of the controller.
Note You can install the latest Sun StorEdge 3000 Family CLI or Configuration
Service software from the CD for your product or download the software from the Sun Download Center. See your product release notes for details.
Note By default, the CLI and the Sun StorEdge Configuration console
automatically access in-band all arrays connected to the host server where the software is installed.
A static IP address enables you to use telnet or other out-of-band management sessions to manage the array with no risk of a DHCP server changing its IP address. See Section 4.9.3, Manually Setting a Static IP Address on page 4-31 for information.
4.9.1
Note If you do not use a DHCP server with the array, you will not have an IP
address and will need to use the serial port connection to create an IP address. See Section 4.9.2, Configuring the RS-232 Serial Port Connection on page 4-30.
4-26
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
If the RAID array is connected to a network with an active DHCP server, you can determine the IP address assigned to the array in several ways:
Access the firmware and follow the procedure Section 4.9.2, Configuring the RS232 Serial Port Connection on page 4-30. When you connect via the serial port, you immediately access the controller firmware application, a management program embedded in the firmware.
If you already installed the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family CLI program, use the show network-parameters CLI command. If the RAID controller is not on a network connected to an active DHCP server, an IP address of 0.0.0.0 is displayed. Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family CLI Users Guide for more information.
If you already installed the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service program, use the Change Network Settings window to display the IP address of the array. Refer to the Updating the Configuration chapter in Sun StorEdge Configuration Service Users Guide for more information. Event messages sent as SNMP traps to the email address you specify also contain the IP address of the array from which they are sent. Refer to the Configuration Parameters chapter in the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide for more information.
Once you have determined the RAID controllers IP address using one of these methods, you can establish a telnet session to that IP address.

Access the array through the COM serial port and select the VT100 terminal emulation to access the RAID firmware Main Menu. 4. Check the DHCP IP address and confirm that it is valid. From the RAID firmware Main Menu choose Configuration Parameters Communication Parameters Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). If the RAID controller is not on a network connected to an active DHCP server, DHCP Client is displayed rather than a DHCP-assigned IP address. Refer to the Configuration Parameters chapter in the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide for more information. 5. If you need to reset the IP address or make a static IP address, refer to Section 4.9.3, Manually Setting a Static IP Address on page 4-31. 6. Configure the array.
To configure the array through the firmware application, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide. To configure the array through out-of-band management, see Section 4.10, Setting Up Out-of-Band Management Over Ethernet on page 4-32.

Note The connection of a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array to Fibre Channel HBAs that use different speeds (1 Gbit and 2 Gbit) on the same channel is not supported. You can, however, mix 1-Gbit and 2-Gbit Fibre Channel HBAs on different channels. This limitation is due to the design of Sun StorEdge Fibre Channel array port bypass circuitry and the inability of Fibre Channel to support auto-negotiation in a multi-drop loop configuration.
Use fiber-optic cables to connect host channels to Fibre Channel HBAs on your host computers or to other devices such as storage switches.

Configuration Overview
This chapter highlights the tools and the important limitations and guidelines which must be understood prior to configuring your array. This chapter covers the following topics:
Section 5.1.1, Point-to-Point Configuration Guidelines on page 5-4 Section 5.1.2, A Sample SAN Point-to-Point Configuration on page 5-6 Section 5.1.3, A Sample DAS Loop Configuration on page 5-11 Section 5.1.4, Connecting Two Hosts to One Host Channel (SATA Only) on page 5-15
Subsequent chapters in this manual describe further procedures used to complete the installation and configuration of the arrays. The flexible architecture of Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays makes many configurations possible.
5.1
5-1
The following steps describe the typical sequence of steps for completing a first-time configuration of the array. 1. Mount the array on a rack, cabinet, desk, or table. 2. Set up the serial port connection. See Section 4.9.2, Configuring the RS-232 Serial Port Connection on page 4-30. 3. Set up an IP address for the controller. See Section 4.9, Establishing Communications With An Array on page 4-27.
Note For detailed information in performing steps 414, refer to the Sun StorEdge
3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide for optimization mode guidelines. 4. Check the status of the available physical drives. 5. Determine whether sequential or random optimization is more appropriate for your applications and configure your array accordingly. 6. (Optional) Configure host channels as drive channels. 7. Confirm or change the Fibre Connection Option (point-to-point or loop). 8. Revise or add host IDs on host channels. The IDs assigned to controllers take effect only after the controller is reset. 9. Delete default logical drives and create new logical drives.
Note While the ability to create and manage logical volumes remains a feature of
arrays for legacy reasons, the size and performance of physical and logical drives have made the use of logical volumes obsolete. Logical volumes are unsuited to some modern configurations, such as Sun Cluster environments, and do not work in those configurations. Avoid using logical volumes and use logical drives instead. For more information about logical drives, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide. 10. (Optional) In dual-controller configurations only, assign logical drives to the secondary controller to load-balance the two controllers.
5-2
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
Caution In single-controller configurations, do not disable the Redundant Controller setting and do not set the controller as a secondary controller. The primary controller controls all firmware operations and must be the assignment of the single controller. If you disable the Redundant Controller Function and
reconfigure the controller with the Autoconfigure option or as a secondary controller, the controller module becomes inoperable and will need to be replaced. 11. (Optional) Partition the logical drives. 12. Map each logical drive partition to an ID on a host channel, or apply a host LUN filter to the logical drives.
Note Each operating system has a method for recognizing storage devices and
LUNs and might require the use of specific commands or the modification of specific files. Be sure to check the information for your operating system to ensure that you have performed the necessary procedures. For information about different operating system procedures, see:
Appendix E to configure a Sun server running the Solaris operation system Appendix F to configure a Microsoft Windows server Appendix G to configure a Linux server Appendix H to configure an IBM server running the AIX operating system Appendix I to configure an HP server running the HP-UX operating system
Note Resetting the controller can result in occasional host-side error messages
such as parity error and synchronous error messages. No action is required and the condition corrects itself as soon as reinitialization of the controller is complete. 14. Save the configuration to a disk. 15. Make sure that the cabling from the RAID array to the hosts is complete.
Note You can reset the controller after each step or at the end of the configuration
process.
Chapter 5
Configuration Overview
5-3
Caution Avoid using in-band and out-of-band connections at the same time to
manage the array. Otherwise, conflicts between multiple operations can cause unexpected results.
5.1.1
The default mode is Loop only. You must change the Fibre Channel Connection mode to Point-to-point only with the firmware application. Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide for more information.
Caution If you keep the default loop mode and connect to a fabric switch, the array automatically shifts to public loop mode. As a result, communication between the array and the switched fabric runs in half duplex (send or receive) instead of providing the full duplex (send and receive) performance of point-topoint mode.
Check the host IDs on all the channels to ensure that there is only one port ID per channel (on the primary controller or on the secondary controller) for point-topoint mode. When viewing the host IDs, there should be one primary controller ID (PID) or one secondary controller ID (SID); the alternate port ID should display N/A. Proper point-to-point mode allows only one ID per channel. On the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array, if one of the dual-ports of channel 0 is connected to a switch (port FC 0), the other FC 0 port on that controller and the two FC0 ports on a redundant controller cannot be used. Similarly, if one of the channel 1 ports is connected with a switch (port FC 1), the other FC 1 port on that controller, and the two FC 1 port on a redundant controller cannot be used. If you change the mode to Point-to-point only and attempt to add a second port ID, the controller does not allow you to add an ID to the same controller and channel. For example, if the PID for CH 0 is 40 and the SID for CH 0 is N/A, the controller does not allow you to add another PID to CH 0. The controller displays a warning if the user is in point-to-point mode and tries to add an ID to the same channel but on the other controller. The warning is displayed because you have the ability to disable the internal connection between the channels on the primary and secondary controller using the Sun StorEdge CLI set inter-controller link command and, by doing this, you can have one ID on the primary and another ID on the secondary as a legal operation.
5-4
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
However, if you ignore this warning and add an ID to the other controller, the RAID controller does not allow a login as a Fabric Loop (FL) port because this would be illegal in a point-to-point configuration.
The firmware application allows you to add up to eight port IDs per channel (four port IDs on each controller), which forces the fabric switch port type to become Fabric Loop. To ensure F-port behavior (full fabric/full duplex) when attaching to a switch, only one port ID must be present on each channel and the array port must be set to point-to-point mode. Do not connect more than one port per channel on an array to a fabric switch.
Caution In point-to-point mode or in public loop mode, only one switch port is
allowed per channel. Connecting more than one port per channel to a switch can violate the point-to-point topology of the channel, force two switch ports to fight over an AL_PA (arbitrated loop physical address) value of 0 (which is reserved for loop-to-fabric attachment), or both.
With four host channels and four host IDs, you should load-balance the host ID setup so that half the IDs are on the primary controller and half the IDs are on the secondary controller. When setting up LUNs, map each LUN to either two PIDs or two SIDs. The hosts are in turn dual-pathed to the same two switched fabrics. When attaching the cables for a LUN-mapped channel pair, make sure that the first channel is connected to the upper port and the second channel is connected to the lower port of the second channel. For example, to provide redundancy, map half of the LUNs across Channel 0 (PID 40) and Channel 4 (PID 42), and then map the other half of your LUNs across Channel 1 (SID 41) and Channel 5 (SID 43).
Point-to-point mode allows a maximum of 128 LUNs per array. In a redundant configuration, 32 LUNs are dual-mapped across two channels on the primary controller, and another 32 LUNs are dual-mapped across the secondary controller, for a total of 64 distinct LUNs. To use more than 64 LUNs, you must change to Loop only mode, add host IDs to one or more channels, and add 32 LUNs for each additional host ID.
Note When in loop mode and connected to a fabric switch, each host ID is
displayed as a loop device on the switch so that, if all 16 IDs are active on a given channel, the array looks like a loop with 16 nodes attached to a single switch FL port. In public loop mode, the array can have a maximum of 1024 LUNs, where 512 LUNs are dual-mapped across two channels, primary and secondary controller respectively.

Configuration Overview

5.1.2
In SAN configurations, the switches communicate with the Sun StorEdge Fibre Channel array host ports using a fabric point-to-point (F_port) mode. When you use fabric point-to-point (F_port) connections between a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array and fabric switches, the maximum number of LUNs is limited to 128 LUNs for a nonredundant configuration and 64 LUNs for a redundant configuration. Fibre Channel standards allow only one ID per port when operating point-topoint protocols, resulting in a maximum of four IDs with a maximum of 32 LUNs for each ID, and a combined maximum of 128 LUNs. The working maximum number of LUNs is actually 64 LUNs in a configuration where you configure each LUN on two different channels for redundancy and to avoid a single point of failure.
In a dual-controller array, one controller automatically takes over all operation of a second failed controller in all circumstances. However, when an I/O controller module needs to be replaced and a cable to an I/O port is removed, the I/O path is broken unless multipathing software has established a separate path from the host to the operational controller. Supporting hot-swap servicing of a failed controller requires the use of multipathing software, such as Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software, on the connected servers.
Note Multipathing for Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA
arrays is provided by Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software. Refer to the release notes for your array for information about which versions of Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software are supported on various hardware platforms. Remember these important rules:
A single logical drive can be mapped to only one controller, either the primary controller or the secondary controller. In a point-to-point configuration, only one host ID per channel is allowed. The host ID can be assigned to the primary controller and be a PID, or it can be assigned to the secondary controller and be a SID. If you have two switches and set up multipathing (to keep all logical drive connections operational for any switch failure or the removal of any I/O controller module), ensure that each logical drive is mapped to two ports, one on each I/O controller module, and on two channels. The cables from the two ports mapped to each logical drive must be cabled to two separate switches. See FIGURE 5-1 and FIGURE 5-2 for examples of this configuration.
5-6
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
FIGURE 5-1 and FIGURE 5-2 show the channel numbers (0, 1, 4, and 5) of each host port
and the host ID for each channel. N/A means that the port does not have a second ID assignment. The primary controller is the top I/O controller module, and the secondary controller is the bottom I/O controller module. The dashed lines between two ports indicate a port bypass circuit that functions as a mini-hub. The port bypass circuit on each channel connects the upper and lower ports on the same channel and provides access to both controllers at the same time. If there are two host connections to the upper and lower ports on Channel 0, and one host connection is removed, the other host connection remains operational. Therefore, if you have a redundant multipathing configuration in which you have two host connections to each logical drive and one connection fails, the remaining path maintains a connection to the logical drive. In FIGURE 5-1 and FIGURE 5-2, with multipathing software to reroute the data paths, each logical drive remains fully operational when the following conditions occur:
One switch fails or is disconnected, and the logical drive is routed to the second switch. For example, if switch 0 fails, switch 1 automatically accesses logical drive 0 through the cabling to the lower port on PID 41. One I/O controller module fails, and all the host IDs for that controller are reassigned (moved) to the second 1/O controller module. For example, if the upper I/O controller module is removed, host IDs 40 and 41 are automatically moved to the lower module and are managed by the second controller. An I/O controller module fails or one cable is removed from an I/O controller module, and all I/O traffic to the disconnected channel is rerouted through the second port/host LUN assigned to the logical drive. For example, if you remove the cable to channel 4, the data path for logical drive 1 switches to the port on channel 5.

Perform the following steps to set up a typical point-to-point SAN configuration based on FIGURE 5-1 and FIGURE 5-2. 1. Check the position of installed SFPs. Move them as necessary to support the connections needed. 2. Connect expansion units, if needed. 3. Create at least two logical drives (logical drive 0 and logical drive 1) and configure spare drives. Leave half of the logical drives assigned to the primary controller (default assignment). Assign the other half of the logical drives to the secondary controller to load-balance the I/O. 4. Create up to 32 partitions (LUNs) in each logical drive. 5. Change the Fibre Connection Option to Point to point only (view and edit Configuration parameters Host-side Parameters Fibre Connections Option). 6. For ease of use in configuring LUNs, change the host IDs on the four channels to the following assignments: Channel 0: PID 40 (assigned to the primary controller) Channel 1: PID 41 (assigned to the primary controller) Channel 4: SID 50 (assigned to the secondary controller) Channel 5: SID 51 (assigned to the secondary controller)

7. Map logical drive 0 to channels 0 and 1 of the primary controller. Map LUN numbers 0 through 31 to the single ID on each host channel. 8. Map logical drive 1 to channels 4 and 5 of the secondary controller. Map LUN numbers 0 through 31 to the single ID on each host channel. Since each set of LUNs is assigned to two channels for redundancy, the total working maximum number of LUNs is 64 LUNs.
Note The LUN ID numbers and the number of LUNs available per logical drive
can vary according to the number of logical drives and the ID assignments you want on each channel. 9. Connect the first switch to ports 0 and 4 of the upper controller. 10. Connect the second switch to ports 1 and 5 of the lower controller. 11. Connect each server to each switch. 12. Install and enable multipathing software on each connected server. The multipathing software prevents path failure but does not alter the controller redundancy through which one controller automatically takes over all functions of a second failed controller.

3. Map the logical drive each server is using to the controller channels that the server is connected to. DAS configurations are typically implemented using a fabric loop (FL_port) mode. A loop configuration example is described in Section 5.1.3, A Sample DAS Loop Configuration on page 5-11. FL_port connections between a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array and multiple servers allow up to 1024 LUNs to be presented to servers. For guidelines on how to create 1024 LUNs, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide. Perform the following steps to set up a DAS loop configuration as shown in FIGURE 5-3 and FIGURE 5-4. 1. Check the location of installed SFPs. Move them as necessary to support the connections needed. You must add SFP connectors to support more than four connections between servers and a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array. For example, add two SFP connectors to support six connections and add four SFP connectors to support eight connections. 2. Connect expansion units, if needed. 3. Create at least one logical drive per server, and configure spare drives as needed. 4. Create one or more logical drive partitions for each server. 5. Confirm that the Fibre Connection Option is set to Loop only.

Larger Configurations
Larger configurations are possible using additional expansion units connected to Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays:
Up to eight expansion units are supported when connected to a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array. Up to five expansion units are supported when connected to a Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array. Up to five Sun StorEdge 3510 FC expansion units and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion units can be combined when connected to a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array. This enables you to use FC drives for primary online applications and SATA drives for secondary or near-line applications within the same RAID array.
Connect Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion units only to host channels (channels 0, 1, 4, or 5) on the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array that have been converted to drive channels. For information about converting host channels to drive channels, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide for your array. Do not combine Sun StorEdge 3510 FC drives and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA drives on the same Fibre Channel loop. Use them only on separate loops. Do not connect Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion units to Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays in single-controller configurations. Make sure at least one additional logical drive is available before adding a Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion unit. It is preferable to make sure a minimum of one available logical drive per Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA expansion unit is available. Consider managing and monitoring SATA arrays and expansion units out-ofband, balancing performance requirements against security issues. Because of the slower performance of SATA drives, managing and monitoring Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays and expansion units using in-band connections might result in contention between I/O operations and monitoring operations.
See Section 1.1, Comparison of Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA Arrays on page 1-2 for information about appropriate uses of these products to make sure the solutions you choose suit your applications and requirements. For more detailed information, and for suggestions about the most appropriate configurations for your applications and environment, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Best Practices Manual for your array.

Ethernet link LEDs on Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays differ from the Ethernet link LEDs found on Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI arrays and Sun StorEdge 3320 SCSI arrays. On Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays and Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays, a connected ports Ethernet link LED glows solid amber only on the active controller, because the Ethernet port on an FC array is considered active only if its controller is active. On an inactive controller, a ports Ethernet link LED is off whether the port is connected or not. The absence of a solid amber light on a connected ports Ethernet link LED indicates that this controller is not the active controller.

Your lithium ion battery should be changed every two years if the unit is continuously operated at 77F (25C). If the unit is continuously operated at 95F (35C) or higher, the battery should be changed every year. The shelf life of your battery is three years.
Note The RAID controller has a temperature sensor which shuts off battery
charging when the temperature reaches 113F (45C). When this happens, the battery status might be reported as BAD, but no alarm is written to the event log because no actual battery failure has occurred. This behavior is normal. As soon as the temperature returns to the normal range, battery charging resumes and the battery status is reported correctly. It is not necessary to replace or otherwise interfere with the battery in this situation. For more information, see Section 2.3, Environmental Requirements on page 2-3 for the acceptable operating and nonoperating temperature ranges for your array. For information about the date of manufacture and how to replace the battery module, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family FRU Installation Guide.
7.3
Note The SES logic in each array sends messages to the event log, which report
problems and the status of the fans, temperatures, and voltages.
Caution Powering off or resetting the controller automatically deletes all recorded
event log entries.

3. To clear events from the log after you have read them, use your arrow keys to move down to the last event you want to clear and press Return. A Clear Above xx Event Logs? confirmation message is displayed.
Note Resetting the controller clears all recorded events. To retain event log entries
after controller resets, you can install and use Sun StorEdge Configuration Service.

Upgrading Firmware
From time to time, firmware upgrades are made available as patches that you can download from SunSolve Online, located at: http://sunsolve.sun.com Each patch applies to one or more particular piece of firmware, including:
SunSolve has extensive search capabilities that can help you find these patches, as well as regular patch reports and alerts to let you know when firmware upgrades and other patches become available. In addition, SunSolve provides reports about bugs that have been fixed in patch updates. Each patch includes an associated README text file that provides detailed instructions about how to download and install that patch. But, generally speaking, all firmware downloads follow the same steps:

Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
Downloading the patch to a location on your network Using your array software (the Sun StorEdge CLI or Sun StorEdge Configuration Service) to flash the firmware to the device it updates
Note Disk drive firmware is provided through Sun disk firmware patches which
include the required download utility. Sun disk firmware patches are separate from the Sun StorEdge 3000 family firmware patches. Do not use the Sun StorEdge CLI or Sun StorEdge Configuration Service to download disk drive firmware.
7.4.1
Downloading Patches
Once you have determined that a patch is available to update firmware on your array, follow these steps. 1. Make note of the patch number or use SunSolve Onlines search capabilities to locate and navigate to the patch. 2. Read the README file associated with that patch for detailed instructions on downloading and installing the firmware upgrade. 3. Follow those instructions to download and install the patch.
Chapter 7
7-9
7.4.2
Caution Before updating your firmware, make sure that the version of firmware
you want to use is supported by your array. Refer to the release notes for your array for Sun Microsystems patches containing firmware upgrades that are available for your array. Refer to SunSolve Online for subsequent patches containing firmware upgrades. If you are downloading a Sun patch that includes a firmware upgrade, the README file associated with that patch tells you which Sun StorEdge 3000 family arrays support that firmware release. To download new versions of controller firmware, or SES and PLD firmware, use one of the following tools:
Sun StorEdge CLI (with an in-band connection, for Linux and Microsoft Windows hosts, and for servers running the Solaris operating system) Sun StorEdge Configuration Service (with an in-band connection, for Solaris and Microsoft Windows hosts)
Caution Do not use both in-band and out-of-band connections at the same time to
manage the array. This might cause conflicts between multiple operations.
7.4.3
Redundant Controller Rolling Firmware Upgrade When downloading is performed on a dual-controller system, firmware is flashed onto both controllers without interrupting host I/O. When the download process is complete, the primary controller resets and lets the secondary controller take over the service temporarily. When the primary controller comes back online, the secondary controller hands over the workload and then resets itself for the new firmware to take effect. The rolling upgrade is automatically performed by controller firmware, and the users intervention is not necessary.
7-10
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
A controller that replaces a failed unit in a dual-controller system often has a newer release of the firmware installed than the firmware in the controller it replaced. To maintain compatibility, the surviving primary controller automatically updates the firmware running on the replacement secondary controller to the firmware version of the primary controller.
Note When you upgrade your controller firmware in the Solaris operating system,
the format(1M) command still shows the earlier revision level.
7.4.4
Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User's Guide for your array to see instructions for downloading firmware for devices. Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family CLI Users Guide, or the sccli(1M) man page for similar instructions using the Sun StorEdge CLI. Refer to the release notes for your array for instructions about where to obtain the firmware that you need to download.
When you open Sun StorEdge Configuration Service or the Sun StorEdge CLI and connect to the array, an error message alerts you to the mismatched version problem.

Bezel locks
7.5.1
Note For many operations, including replacing disk drives, it is not necessary to
further detach the bezel, because dropping it down moves it sufficiently out of the way. 3. Press the right bezel arm (hinge) toward the left side to release it from the chassis hole. The left hinge also disengages. 4. Note the location of the chassis bezel holes on each ear. 5. Remove the plastic caps from the front left and right ears of the array. Both plastic caps are removed in the same way. a. Squeeze both sides of the cap at the top and the bottom. b. Turn the cap toward the center of the array until it disengages and pull it free.
7-12
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
Caution To avoid damage to the cap, do not pull the cap forward directly or pull
from only its top or bottom.
7.5.2
Placing the Bezel and Ear Caps Back Onto the Chassis
Each plastic cap is replaced in the same way, but be sure to place the cap with LED labels on the right ear. 1. Align the inside round notches of the cap with the round cylindrical posts (ball studs) on the ear. 2. Push the top and bottom of the ear cap onto the ear, pressing in on the top side toward the center of the array first. 3. Continue pushing the top and bottom of the ear cap onto the ear, pressing on the side toward the outside of the array. Do not use force when placing a cap on an ear.
Caution Be careful to avoid compressing the reset button under the plastic cap
when you replace the plastic cap on the chassis. 4. Insert the bezel arms into the chassis holes. 5. Lift the bezel into position and press it onto the front of the chassis until it is flush with the front. 6. Use the key to lock both bezel locks.

silence the alarm depends on the cause of the alarm.
Chapter 8
8-5
To silence the alarm, perform the following steps: 1. Check the error messages, event logs, and LED activity to determine the cause of the alarm. Component event messages include but are not limited to the following:
SES/PLD firmware mismatch Temperature Cooling element Power supply Battery Fan Voltage sensor
Controller Memory Parity Drive SCSI Channel Logical drive Loop connection
Refer to the Event Messages appendix in the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide for more information about controller events.

Controller Failover
Controller failure symptoms are as follows:
The surviving controller sounds an audible alarm. The RAID Controller Status LED on the failed controller is amber. The surviving controller sends event messages announcing the controller failure of the other controller.
A Redundant Controller Failure Detected alert message is displayed and written to the event log. If one controller in the redundant controller configuration fails, the surviving controller takes over for the failed controller. The primary controller state will be held by the surviving controller regardless of the serial number until redundancy is restored. The surviving controller disables and disconnects from its counterpart while gaining access to all the signal paths. It then manages the ensuing event notifications and takes over all processes. It remains the primary controller regardless of its original status, and any replacement controller afterward assumes the role of secondary controller. The failover and failback processes are completely transparent to the host.
Note If the surviving controller is removed and the failed controller is left in the
system, and the system is power-cycled, the failed controller can become primary and write stale data to disk.
Note If the system is powered down and the failed controller is replaced, if the
replacement controller has a previous release of the firmware with a higher serial number than the surviving controller, the system might hang during boot up. Controllers are hot-swappable if you are using a redundant configuration, and replacing a failed unit takes only a few minutes. Since the I/O connections are on the controllers, you might experience some unavailability between the times when the failed controller is removed and a new one is installed in its place. To maintain your redundant controller configuration, replace the failed controller as soon as possible. For details, refer to Sun StorEdge 3000 Family FRU Installation Guide.

Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
Note When the drives cannot be identified by the controller, either due to disk
channel errors or powering up in the wrong sequence, the drive state will change to USED with all logical drives in a FATAL FAIL state. To recover from this state, the condition that caused the loss of access to the disk drives must be resolved and a power cycle of the system is required. The FATAL FAIL state remains following the power cycle and requires user intervention to clear. For details regarding the FATAL FAIL state, see Section 8.5, Recovering From Fatal Drive Failure on page 8-9.

3. Physically check that all the drives are firmly seated in the array and that none have been partially or completely removed. 4. In the RAID firmware Main Menu, choose view and edit Logical drives, and look for: Status: FATAL FAIL (two or more failed drives) 5. Select the logical drive, press Return, and choose view scsi drives. If two physical drives fail, one drive has a BAD status and one drive has a MISSING status. 6. Unassign any global or local spare drives. 7. Reset the controller. From the RAID firmware Main Menu, choose system Functions Reset controller and choose Yes when prompted. 8. When the system comes back up, clear the FATAL FAIL state. a. From the RAID firmware Main Menu, choose view and edit Logical drives. b. Select the logical drive with the FATAL FAIL status and press Enter. c. Select Clear state. d. Choose Yes when the Back to degraded? prompt is displayed.

Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
Note The logical drive can be rebuilt with a local or a global spare drive. If no
local or global spare is assigned, the logical drive will be rebuilt with the remaining BAD drive. a. If you unassigned any local or global spare drives in Step 6, reassign them now. The rebuild will begin automatically. 12. If no spare drives are available, perform the following steps. a. From the RAID firmware Main Menu, choose view and edit Logical drives. b. Select the logical drive that has the status DRV FAILED. c. Choose Rebuild logical drive, and then choose Yes to rebuild the logical drive. The rebuilding progress is displayed on the screen. A notification message informs you when the process is complete.
Note As physical drives fail and are replaced, the rebuild process regenerates the
data and parity information that was on the failed drive. However, the NVRAM configuration file that was present on the drive is not re-created. For details on restoring the NVRAM configuration file to the drive, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware Users Guide. Rebuilding the logical drive restores the RAID integrity to a self-consistent state. This does not guarantee that the data has not been corrupted. All possible application checks should be performed to ensure that the data is not corrupted before it is used for business or production purposes. For additional troubleshooting tips, refer to the release notes for your array.
8.6
Tests that LEDs work To test that the LEDs work, use a paper clip to press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds. All the LEDs should change from green to amber when you perform this test. Any LED that fails to light indicates a problem with the LED. When you release the Reset button, the LEDs return to their initial state. See Section 6.2, Front Panel LEDs on page 6-2 for more information.

B.4
Booting from a JBOD disk is not supported in this release. The mpxio functionality of Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation Suite 4.2 software is not supported with Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays. Only Sun hosts running the Solaris operating system are supported in this release. Sun Cluster software is not supported in this release. VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) software is not supported in this release.
Appendix B
B-3
Only direct-attached single-host connections to a single JBOD are supported in this release. There is no multihost support in this release. Fibre Channel switches are not supported in this release. Daisy-chaining is not supported in this release. Sun StorEdge Automated Diagnostic Environment (StorADE) 2.3 software is not supported in this release. The luxadm(1M) utility is not supported for monitoring and managing Sun StorEdge 3000 family arrays. However, certain luxadm arguments and options can be used, including display, probe, dump_map, and rdls. Sun StorEdge Configuration Service supports Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays. However, since Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays do not have a RAID controller to manage the disks, this software support is necessarily limited. Monitoring functionality that does not require a RAID controller works the same way it does for RAID arrays. See Section B.5, Using Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Software Monitoring and Management Tools with JBOD Arrays on page B-4 for more specific information. Similarly, Sun StorEdge Diagnostic Reporter support for standalone JBOD arrays is limited to functionality that can work without a RAID controller. The Sun StorEdge CLI supports Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays. However, because Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays do not have a RAID controller to manage the disks, this support is limited.
B.5

ID Switch
By default, the ID switch on all Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays is set to 1 so the range of IDs is automatically 16 to 31. You can leave the ID switch set to 1, or set it for whichever range of IDs you prefer. The ID switch offers eight ID ranges. Each set contains 16 IDs. The last 4 IDs in each range are ignored. These ranges are shown in TABLE B-2.

Caution The plastic ear covers are snap-on parts that require care when you
remove them. If you remove the right plastic ear cap, take care to avoid breaking the Reset push button directly below the ear cap. 2. Remove the left plastic ear cap from the front of the chassis. 3. Use the buttons to change the ID number.
Caution The loop ID should only be changed while the JBOD array is powered off
or not in use. After changing the loop ID, a power cycle is required to make the ID switch change take effect. Failure to cycle the power following an ID switch change can lead to unexpected results. 4. Reattach the plastic ear cap and the bezel on the front of the chassis.

Use host-based multipathing software such as VERITAS DMP 3.2 or 3.5 software to manage Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays connected to a host over more than one loop. Multipathing software provides full services on multiple paths between the server and the storage system.
FIGURE B-3 shows an example of a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD array with 12 drives,
connected to a host computer over two loops to two FC ports. In this example, both ports are on dual-port HBAs.
Host computer
JBOD array
FIGURE B-3
When you connect your Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD array to a host over two loops, the format command shows 24 drives, 12 on each loop, because the host sees a device entry for each path. If the loop switch ID is set to 0, these drives are identified as ranging from c1t0d0 to c1t11d0 and from c2t0d0 to c2t11d0, as shown in TABLE B-4. However there are, of course, still only 12 physical drives in the JBOD array. These drives are arranged in four columns of three drives each, as shown in TABLE B-3.

Caution The loop ID should only be changed while the JBOD array is powered off
or not in use. After changing the loop ID, a power cycle is required to make the ID switch change take effect. Failure to cycle the power following an ID switch change can lead to unexpected results. 3. Connect the SFP connector at the other end of each of these fiber-optic cables to host channel SFP connectors on the back of the JBOD array. 4. Power up the equipment in the following order, so that the host computer discovers all connected arrays: a. Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD array b. Host computer 5. Use your host system disk management utilities to prepare the disks in the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD array for use. Refer to your host system documentation for more information about disk management utilities available to you.

Notes
To check cabling, look for bent pins, loose wires, loose cable shielding, or loose cable casing. Fibre Channel arrays use SFP connectors to attach the array to hosts and expansion units. Each Fibre Channel I/O expansion module has two SFP ports. These ports are labeled Loop A or Loop B. Prior to replacing a chassis, try the following: --Reseat the FRU that is not operating correctly. --Swap the questionable FRU with a known-good FRU from the same array.

Editing /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf to Support Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager 4.4 on the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA Array
Because the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array is a new product, it is not yet fully supported by Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation Suite 4.4 and earlier releases. Even with mpxio-disable set to no in the /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf file, the WWN path isnt generated. When you install Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager and its drivers, the sample entry shown below is written to the /kernel/drv/scsi/vhci.conf file: device-type-scsi-options-list = v_id prod_id , symmetric-option, symmetric-option = 0x1000000 where: v_id is the vendor ID prod_id is the product ID If you create an entry for the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array using the format shown in the sample entry, failover will not work because there should not be a space between the product ID and the comma.
E-4
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
Create the following entry to support failover on the Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array with five spaces between SUN and StorEdge: device-type-scsi-options-list = SUN StorEdge 3511, symmetric-option; symmetric-option = 0x1000000; The vendor ID and model ID are part of the same string in this configuration file. You can support multiple devices by appending them to the list with commas: device-type-scsi-options-list = SUN StorEdge 3511, symmetric-option, SUN StorEdge 3900, symmetric-option; symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
Note Ensure that the space between prod__id and the comma has been removed, and that there are exactly five spaces between the vendor ID (SUN) and the product ID (StorEdge 3511).

Logical Volume Manager Volume Groups Logical Volumes Physical Volumes Paging Space
Volume groups are a way of dividing and allocating disk storage capacity. Volume groups can be used to subdivide a large partition of storage into smaller units of usable space called logical volumes. Each volume group is divided into logical volumes, which are seen by applications as individual disks. Logical volumes can contain their own file systems. The underlying physical storage in a volume group consists of one or more physical volumes. A physical volume can be a single physical disk or a partition of a disk array. In this appendix, the physical volume is the disk device you identified in Section H.3, Identifying the Device on Which You Will Create a Logical Volume on page H-4.

Note HP-UX requires a unique addressing system called Volume Set Addressing
to be implemented in the target/LUN device semantics in order for HP-UX systems to have access to more than eight LUNs per target. Currently HP original equipment manufacturer (OEM), EMC, and HDS arrays are recognized by their vendor ID (VID) and designed to support these semantics with Host Mode configuration specific to HP-UX. You can avoid this limitation by using a different target ID on the host channel to map each group of eight LUNs. For more information about the addressing limitations of HP-UX, refer to your HP-UX documentation. 1. Use the ioscan command to determine what addresses are available on the HBA to which you will be attaching the array. 2. Access the firmware application on the array and set the SCSI IDs of the host channels you will be using. 3. Map the partitions containing storage that you want to use to the appropriate host channels. Partitions must be assigned to LUNs in sequential order, beginning at LUN 0. 4. Halt the operating system using the shutdown command. 5. Turn off all power to peripheral devices and then to the server. 6. Attach one or more host channels of the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array to the SCSI interface cards in the host using the fiber cables or optical cables that are provided. 7. Turn on the power to the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array or Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA array and all other peripheral devices. After they are initialized, power on the server and boot HP-UX. During the boot process, the operating system recognizes the new disk devices and builds device files for them.
Appendix I Configuring an HP Server Running the HP-UX Operating System I-5
8. Verify that you can see the new storage resources by running the ioscan command. You are now ready to use the storage.
Note If you create and map new partitions to the array, you can have them
recognized by the operating system without rebooting. Run the ioscan and the insf commands to discover the resources and to create their device files.

Each physical volume is divided into units called physical extents. The default size of these units is 4 Mbyte, but can range in size from 1 Mbyte to 256 Mbyte. The maximum number of physical extents that a volume group can contain is 65,535. With the default size of 4 Mbyte, this limits the size of the volume group to 255 Gbyte. To create a volume group larger than 255 Gbyte, you must increase the size of the physical extents when creating the volume group. Refer to vgcreate(1m) for further information.

3. Initialize each partition as an LVM disk with the pvcreate command. For example, type:
# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c12t6d2
Caution This process results in the loss of any data that resides on the partition.

The name of the directory is the name of the volume group. By default, HP-UX uses names of the format vgNN, but you can choose any name that is unique within the list of volume groups. In the preceding example, the mknod command has the following arguments:
The fully qualified path name of the new device file group The letter c indicating a character device file The major number 64 (used for all volume groups) A minor number of the form 0xNN0000, where NN is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the volume group number (06 in the example)
To associate the physical volume with a volume group, use the vgcreate command:
# vgcreate /dev/vgmynewvg /dev/dsk/c12t6d2
I-8
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual March 2007
To verify the creation and view the volume group properties, use the vgdisplay command:
# vgdisplay vg02 --- Volumegroups --VG VG VG Name Write Access Status /dev/vg02 read/write available 255 0 0 16 1 1 per PV 2167 2 4 2167 0 2167 0
Max LV Cur LV Open LV Max PV Cur PV Act PV Max PE VGDA PE Size (Mbytes)
In the output of vgdisplay, the Total PE field displays the number of physical extents in the volume group. The size of each physical extent is displayed in the PE Size field (the default is 4 Mbyte), so the total capacity of this volume group is 2167 x 4 Mbyte = 8668 Mbyte. The Alloc PE field shows the number of physical extents allocated to logical volumes. At this point, the Alloc PE field is zero because we have not assigned any of this volume groups capacity to logical volumes.
Appendix I
I-9
I.8
Both character and block device files for the new logical volume are created in the volume group directory:
# ls /dev/vg02 lvol1 rlvol1
group
Applications should use these names to access the logical volumes. Unless you specify otherwise, HP-UX creates names in the form shown in the example. To specify custom names for logical volumes refer to vgcreate(1M).
